Gil-galad

Another High Elf Hero, the High King himself, I really enjoyed painted Gil-galad.

Gildor Inglorion

My third High Elf hero, Gildor Inglorion. The hair on this model was a pain to paint, as the paint kept coming off.

Elrond and High Elves

'The face of Elrond was ageless, neither old nor young, though in it was written the memory of many things both glad and sorrowful. His hair was dark as the shadows of twilight, and upon it was set a circlet of silver; his eyes were grey as a clear evening, and in them was a light like the light of the stars.'

Here we have my Finecast Elrond model, and my re-based High Elves. I did not notice the Mold line in Elrond's face whilst painting him, as it is only visible from certain angles. 

High Elves

"The rider's cloak streamed behind him, and his hood was thrown back; his golden hair flowed shimmering in the wind of his speed. To Frodo it appeared that a white light was shining through the form and raiment of the rider, as if through a thin veil."

2) Paint Codex Grey over the cloth, leaving the black in the recesses.

3) Highlight the cloth with Fortress Grey.
